Man dies from injuries sustained in March 9 crash

Metropolitan police say a second person has died from injuries suffered in a March 9 crash in central Las Vegas.

The crash occurred just after 2 p.m. at the intersection of South Jones Boulevard and West Katie Avenue, according to a Metropolitan Police Department press release. A black 2014 Chevrolet Cruze driven by a 20-year-old Las Vegas man was traveling along South Jones Boulevard toward West Katie Avenue “at a high rate of speed,” police said, as a black 2015 Hyundai Sonata headed north on Jones attempted to make a left turn at Katie.

The front of the Chevrolet struck the right side of the Hyundai. Three people were taken to University Medical Center. A 74-year-old passenger of the Hyundai, Connie Sheets, died at the hospital.

Police said on Monday morning they were notified that the driver of the Hyundai has since died from injuries sustained in the collision. The Clark County coroner’s office identified him as Timothy Sheets, 74.

Police said an investigation into the collision is continuing.
